    did your rear trailing arms have piviot points built into the axle attatchment point like i have built, or are they attatched with a U bolt??
     
  3. No I used a piece of plate and bolted them together. I need to lift it up and take some photos for ya. The brackets over the housing are the same I just put 2 instead of one. Same holes drilled in them. It is kind of hard to explain. Mine does not look as good as yours nice work.

    In the booth, before paint. i used a cherry picker to suspend the front end of the frame by strining a loop of rope through a factory hole in the radiator support.

    How much lift are you getting it looks like your bags are at full pressure just to get the frame off the ground?
